i disagree somewhat in that my experience has been that black wrinkle
i am familiar w/ showed up more on industrial and vehicular equipment
where a gloss or other paint would not cover the poor finish on some
material.
this would also include some sheet metal items, say Collins cases et al,
where possibly the glossier paints would show imperfections much more
clearly; it would not be a shortcut in the application because you can
still run wrinkle paint when applying, so the same care must be taken.
i used to use a lot of spray can wrinkle, mainly when doing harley dav-
idson parts; there was quite a difference between manufacturers - some
would really wrinkle, others never would - some would require the parts
be heated (oven) beforehand, others required heating before and after-
wards to obtain the necessary finish. it was typically hit and miss.
and that's why wrinkle powder coats are the only way to go now - as long
as the person doing the job is professional and able - you just can't
beat the powder coat for durability and beauty and a finish that is even
from one end to the other.
